It prides itself in its outstanding performance in the board examinations for medical technologists. This
university is the second largest campus in terms of student population and faculty and personnel, this
campus is the former Cagayan Trade School (CTS) and the Cagayan Valley College of Arts and Trades
(CVCAT), which today, has transformed into a dynamic and globally competent campus offering the
most subscribed academic programs to local and international students.

The Cagayan State University (CSU) has held a strong program in Medical Technology and is known as
the national top performing school in the Philippines for four-consecutive years. Unfortunately the
University does not have enough information posted online about medical technology. Weather when
did the university started offering medical technology course, who introduced medical technology to be
part of the university courses.

The University of San Agustin, also known as UNISAG, is a private Roman Catholic reseaech,
coeducational, non-profit basic and higher education institution run by the order of Saint Augustine in
Iloilo City, Philippines. It was established by the Spanish Augustinians with the help of their American
Confreres in 1904 as a preparatory school for boys. In 1917, it was incorporated and became Colegio de
San Agustin de Iloilo. Medical Technology was under/combined to the Pharmacy which they called the
College of Pharmacy and Medical Technology (CPMT) that opened in the 1946. In 1962, they renamed

The Institute of Medicine, a medical school staffed by some of the most notable names in Philippine
medicine, was established in 1952. The lofty expectations that were created at the time have been
spectacularly met by the top-rated graduates since then.

In reality, the Institute of Medicine was planned as early as FEU’s establishment in 1934. Dr. Nicanor
Reyes, Sr., FEU’s founder and first president, envisioned an Institute of Medicine to complement his
vision of transforming FEU, already a leader in progressive non-sectarian education, into a school
dedicated to assisting in nation-building in as many ways as possible.

Established in 1960, the School of Medical Technology was the first of its kind in the country. It has
molded medical technologists with intensive and updated training provided by the most seasoned
practitioners, and enhanced with the most modern laboratory equipment and resources. The CEU
School of Medical Technology trains students in the performance of laboratory test procedures and
analyses used in the diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of disease and the maintenance of health. The
program focuses on the use of modern equipment and the performance of scientific techniques in the
administration of the full spectrum of Medical Technology services required in modern health care. At
the end of a four year course, students demonstrate competencies in scientific research, methods and
processes, having acquired skills in instrumentation, laboratory diagnosis, methodology and life saving
procedures. They manifest as well wholesome values and attitudes which enable them to be able to
contribute to the overall social, mental, physical, health, and environmental concerns of the community,
of the country, and of the world. Centro Escolar University was established on June 3, 1907 by Doña
Librada Avelino and Doña Carmen de Luna for the instruction and training of the youth in all branches of
the arts and sciences. With some benches, a single blackboard and a few books, the two educators stead
fastly a dream of establishing a nationalistic center of learning for Filipino women. The first college, that
of Pharmacy, opened in 1921. The College of Liberal Arts, Education and Dentistry followed one after the
other. Three years later, the College of Optometry was established. With three campuses and over 50
academic programs, CEU has gone far beyond its founders' vision, building steps towards dreams and
goals of the Filipino youth. Centro Escolar University was established on June 3, 1907 by Doña Librada

The program applied for accreditation through the Commission on Accreditation of the Philippine
Association of Colleges and Universities in September 2005. (PACU-COA). This is in an effort to raise the
educational quality of aspiring Lycean Medical Laboratory Scientists.

The program received the accrediting body’s approval and is now Level II recognized, making it the first
Medical Technology program in the province to do so. Its board performance is currently higher than the
national passing rate, indicating that it is on track to produce world-class laboratory experts.

Carlo Gualberto Espina is a RMT, MBA, MPA. He is the founding president, pioneer clinical laboratory &
medical clinic, Inc.

According to him “he always wanted to be a doctor but his father wanted him to be an engineer. After
he passed the PEPT from 1st year High School-1st year college, it helped him pursue the path.” Bs Medical
Technology is the best preparatory course for medicine. It’s quite a fact that from an engineering
university where he spent a year to honor his father’s wish, he decided to transfer to LPU and he chose
to be a game changer. He was able to explore and test the flexibility of his boundaries. If he didn’t
become a Lycean and a RMT he would’ve missed the golden opportunity of connecting the dots of his
passion, from expectations to reality.
